Let the coach do that. The coach can request time to trap the runner and not take a chance on making a mistake. But that is not your job!
Also, according to another post most of you agreed that the LBR would not be applied if the runner tried to get back to 2B. Your reasoning was that the play was not over, so the LBR is not yet in effect.

If it's apparent the pitcher is going to make an appeal, I'll kill the ball.
Nothing like a little preventive umpiring to avoid the sticky IP situations that will occur with pitchers of all age groups.
